Description

Morphology

Small cave structured on two levels. The lower level, more spacious and habitable, has in turn a small ascending crawlway hidden behind a group of blocks and small ledges; the crawlway progressively reduces in size until it becomes impassable.

History

Cavity unrecorded in speleological catalogues.

Within the school activities carried out at the coves del Salnitre, the monitors hide in this small cave the “blunderbuss that Mansuet lost” and the students have to find it.
